Ditto to the PTO winch. Use the correct aluminum shear pins (not a grade bolt). Your truck looks good! They put a 90 degree elbow already for the air intake cap (aka mushroom cap), that is a good modification. It looks largely unmolested (no bed sides cut etc.). Any questions.....this site has...

Your truck says "Mess with me...and you'll be sorry!". Love the double bumper with the push pads! I relegated my tow bar to the front of the bed in a clamp. I never use it...just want to have it, in case. I can toss it off the dropside bed by myself and lug it to the front. By that time, I am...

A few comments. - the "Chinese" 2 hole injector nozzles were looked at and tested by someone very knowledgeable on this site and given a clean bill of health. The quality was there. These are injector nozzles. They need precise machining and tight tolerances for the holes but they are not a...

FWIW, I ordered the kit from Wolverine last year and got excellent service and all my questions answered. Maybe I was lucky....or they are a somewhat distracted outfit.

What is that last one from? It is one heavy suck*r and I never really found out where it was used. I have one of these.

You bled the airpack first, I assume, then the wheels? Do the brakes themselves work as they should? If so, it could be simply the pedal itself needing adjusting.

Yes, THAT is how things happen around here! Very nice score, by the way, says a fellow w/w and dropside owner!

Filled level to the top of the sides I get about 6 tons into the bed. With a hump in the middle, a bit more. So, you are looking at 30-plus loads. Pushing the gravel off manually with a rake is doable, especially on a "C" with dropsides. However....doing it for30 loads...no, thanks! Get an...

After three failed TruckLite LED sets I purchased "7'' Round 120W CREE LED Headlight Hi/Lo Beam Fit 97-17 Jeep JK TJ LJ Wrangler" on a well known auction site for less than $70 for the pair. They fit exactly, look good and are super bright. No complaints! Adapting the harness was easy -...

Good job, sir! She's alive!

That is a cool solution. Because my brain is weird, I was thinking "You can use that as an air brake in case you need to slow down!". Don't pay attention.

You know you are NOT a redneck if a friend towed your truck. It could have involved a garbage can on a couple 2x4 duct taped to the frame to sit on and a really airy ride, out in the open, being deafened by the multi without a stack!

Are you positive it was crankcase oil? Could it have been gear oil? A well filled/over filled transmission might never get hot enough around town or on shorter drives, but can puke oil when it gets really warm on a highway run. I had a very similar experience, with oil slobber on the side of my...

Not affiliated with Kublos, just bought parts, but spoke to a guy who did and he mirrored what Ajax MD said. Kublos serviced and fixed the truck prior to pickup and even retrieved it and replaced the IP that went bad on the drive home. They "feel" trustworthy.

Unfortunately, "assembled in the USA" just means the parts have been put into a box in the USA. The parts are likely made in Asia.

A crane will never reach far enough or lift enough and a winch will never be powerful enough - that is a law of nature. So, I think you are doing the right thing by putting the highest capacity winch on it that you can get/can afford. The part that I have not seen addressed is safety. Using the...

I completely forgot about this - I had this problem after changing the O rings on my previous engine and, thanks to advice received here, loosening the two screws (that were not even THAT tight) fixed it! Good call.

That is interesting. One of the reasons diesels shed their piston rings is because Dude A, with no Dude B available, sprays ether into the intake as if the cans were on sale, walks over to the driver side and cranks the engine over afterwards. Then one or two cylinders suck in all the goodies...

Slooowwww speed and keep your thumbs on the outside of the steering wheel. I also think it works with the stock 9:00-20 tires but I would not want this setup with 11:00-20 or larger.

As you found out, the horn solenoid gets a permanently hot +24V supply and the circuit is completed by closing the ground via the horn button. If the ground wire is disconnected on the solenoid and the horn starts blaring as soon as you put the 24V lead on, the solenoid is grounding itself to...
